To say Bartholomew Higgans was a
bartender ahead of his time would be something of an inaccuracy. He
was a bartender who wanted to be ahead of his time and for a brief
time was in a very literal sense. Bartholomew, determined to be the
greatest bartender in the world, borrowed a time machine from one of
the many wild west aficionados from the twenty-third century, and
sought about seeking a comprehensive collection of all the greatest
cocktail recipes of the past, present, and future. Alas, for when
Bartholomew, who found his book, returned to 1876, he discovered that
though he had the secrets to alcoholic perfection within his fingers,
he could still only get his hands on the cheapest rotgut whiskeys.
Thus, instead of being an innovator, he relegated himself to
fulfilling the the role of prophet of the highball.
